+## Publishing
+
+- Blog posts go into `src/posts`. The latest few are displayed on the home page. You can set `draft: true` in a post's front matter to render it without linking to it from somewhere else on the page.

 ## Build Environment
 
 The build environment is described in `flake.{nix,lock}` and `.envrc`. You can use [direnv](https://direnv.net/) and [nix with flakes support](https://nixos.org/) to automatically drop into a shell that contains all tools for building the website.
